This week many interesting reviews from a special issue of Current Biology on evolution of nervous systems (the first 6 papers):
- Tuthill and Wilson (2016) - Mechanosensation and Adaptive Motor Control in Insects.
- Schafer (2016) - Nematode nervous systems.
- Samrandache (2016) - Arthropod neurons and nervous system.
- Hochner and Glansman (2016) - Evolution of highly diverse forms of behavior in molluscs.
- Kristan (2016) - Early evolution of neurons.
- Warrant-(2016) - Sensory matched filters.
- Rojas et al (2011) - Differential Effects of Axon Initial Segment and Somatodendritic GABAA Receptors on Excitability Measures in Rat Dentate Granule Neurons. Modulation of threshold by axonal synapses.
- Eloundou-Mbebi et al (2016) - A network property necessary for concentration robustness. Sounds relevant for neural network robustness too.
- Crotty et al (2006) - Metabolic Energy Cost of Action Potential Velocity. About minimal energy consumption of axon conduction.
- Stein (2006) - Cell volume homeostasis- Ionic and nonionic mechanisms- The sodium pump in the emergence of animal cells. Is the primary function of he sodium pump cell volume homeostasis?
